that's an interesting idea -- we have been seeing this play out successfully as well (like you mentioned, Wired + sponsored youtube videos + etc). though that would be useful for profitability, we're afraid that may compromise our reputability as being the knowledge of the public. instead we're looking for ways where, when we expand to more opinions and reviews, we can robustly filter out those that seem disingenuous / are sponsored. curious as to what you think about this "filtering" out + if you have any ideas of going about this :)
thank you! i completely agree -- i often go to reddit when looking for tv show recommendations because of its honest advice from the community (maybe it's because of its anonymity?)
we definitely want to expand this to outside product search and be more of a general recommendation/opinion search (e.g. in your case, finding out what people are saying about how to fix band issues from running), interested as to what you would think about this :)
